Difficulty of Rach 1 (for small hands)?

[fread22]

I have just finished learning Chopin Ballade no. 1 and 3, as well as some of the etudes (e.g. 10/4 and 10/12). Now I would like to move onto learning some of Rach's work, mainly the Rach 1 cadenza. Is the skill gap a bit too big for me to attempt it?
To make matters worse, I have really small hand span, barely reaching an octave. I suppose omitting notes would be inevitable, but would that still be too ambitious for me currently?
Thank you.

Very hard to say. If you can manage the ballade and etudes you mentioned I think you have a shot. Just be careful with your hands if you have a small span, if the piece hurts you, drop it for now and develop your chord/octave technique.
